"Tarzan and the Golden Lion" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written in the early 20th century. This thrilling adventure continues the story of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, as he navigates his bond with the animal kingdom and faces external threats in the wilds of Africa. The narrative centers around Tarzan and his encounter with Jad-bal-ja, a young lion cub whom he adopts after its mother is killed, highlighting themes of loyalty, motherhood, and the connection between humans and nature. The opening of the book introduces readers to the fierce lioness Sabor and her struggle to protect her last surviving cub amidst dire circumstances. Tarzan, accompanied by his wife Jane and their son Korak, stumbles upon the orphaned cub. Tarzan decides to adopt the young lion, naming him Jad-bal-ja, which illustrates his deep affinity for the wild and the creatures within it. As the story unfolds, the family returns to their home, where the challenges of nurturing a lion alongside navigating human conflicts become apparent.
